Interview with "Mambo No. 5"-Lou Bega about the movie The Last Reformation: The Life

Well, my name it Lou Bega.
I started becoming a songwriter when

I was 14 I started writing my first song
brought out my first CD when I was 16

Then I wrote and performed one of the
biggest pop hits in music history in 99

And since then I am, Lou Bega.

The biggest change in our lives, in our
household, is that the Holy Spirit now

sits with us. When we have breakfast
He's there. When we go to bed He's there

So you're in constant communication with
the Creator of the universe.

Which is Jesus. This is a big change.
It's not easy at the beginning because

you need to find a way to walk out your
life. There's the world, and there's

The Spirit and there's hard separation
one in a while. BUT it's the greatest a

man can do because you already know that
you're with Him, that you're safe, if

you keep walking with Him. And I would
say this is the greatest change.

So we started to search for someone who
could baptize us. Because obviously our

pastors and priests were not able to
baptize us, or you would be on a waiting

list for a year, which is not the way
Jesus Christ would have done it.

But we called up Torben and he said, Yes
I'm coming around. Because we'd seen the

movie. We sensed that he's a humble man
that really loves what he's doing

and you want to trust a person when he's
humble in the things of the Spirit.

Very very important. So we saw the movie
and we said, Hey we need to get baptized

That would be our next step on our
spiritual walk with Jesus.

Then they came around, the whole crew
We had a fantastic book of Acts day.

Torben says it reminded him of Cornelius
in the book of Acts.

And the whole household praying and
getting baptized and it was a wonderful

experience, we have it on film and I'm
thankful I can show other people who are

who are stuck in materialism, ego, stuck
in this world.

Which is just a temporary world.
So I feel it is my duty, and I love it

to stand for Christ in these days and
just to show them - This is the only way

regardless of what the world is offering
you.

I'm happy and I'm thankful that the
Lord chose us to be a little light.

I wish for people to see it and get out
of their materialism and daily routine.

That they see that there's more than
just running after idols,

running after false gods, after yourself
there's so many ways to be deceived in

this world. I just want to let them see
that we did it, that since then we're

not just people who take part in a
religious act. But we walk around

we try to spread the gospel as good as
we can and reach people for the kingdom

That is actually the only hope that we
have.
